I know, I know, fuuuuuuuck. Morons for the most part. I'm a gun owner, not a gun nut. I hate getting lumped in with those buffoons.

I'm not convinced that many people in this country HAVE to shoot game to provide for their family. I'm not anti gun per se, but hunting to live has pretty much vanished in this country.

I agree, seems needless and well...fucking stupid. At the same time, if you want to hunt for food in the wilderness, go for it. Personally, I do my hunting at Ralph's.

I'm not particularly pro-gun or anti-gun--guns in and of themselves are pretty neutral. It's the people the people that creep me out a little bit sometimes. You probably don't need an assault rifle and your ten year old probably doesn't need to be a trained marksman (though, if you have guns, teaching your children safety is important). Though I don't see myself owning a gun anytime soon, I don't think trampling on the Constitution is a particularly good idea--even though, if it comes to armed conflict, I think the government is going to win. They have flamethrowers, we don't. And we shouldn't. (Come to think of it, flamethrowers seem ineffective...whatever, you get my point.)

Before this thread gets ruined, I just wanted to say that this has been the best (and wittiest) gun related thread on the moving train that I've ever seen.

I hope my inane comments have brought a smile to at least a few of you here on “a moving train”. On rare occasion, the mood can get quite bleak over here.

Well, the work day is over so I’m off to drink a few beers. To those of you on the west coast that are getting back from lunch and still have three hours to kill . . . [summoning Nelson voice] . . . “Ha, ha!!!”

But your location says that you're in the middle of a cornfield. You live in Nebraska and get to go home now????

Your day starts early when you have to go milk the cows.

OK, now I really mean it. I'm going to go drink beer. Peace!

see i like to teach my kids how to go on a bike, play tetris, draw, an instrument... the last fucking thing i'll do is teachthem what a gun is for, how it works and then actually let them use one... i'd rather teach them jazz... and you evidently have no idea how much i loathe jazz.

See, I don't have kids and use my guns strictly to keep other people's kids off my lawn.

Yes. Ignorance is clearly the best policy. Make sure you don't teach them about any other threatening things.

I'm not saying give your child a gun. That would be/is fairly retarded. I'm saying if you own guns, and you have them in the house, instead of letting them stumble upon it and learn a lesson the hard way, when the appropriate age comes, educate your children.

And what's your problem with jazz?

I like jazz more than guns.

I like jazz more than guns.

its not ignorance... i dont live in a country that has to contemplate the need to show kids how to use a gun... ergo i'd rather show them fun stuff.... AIDS is a threatening thing... should i teach my 6 year old about that? what about heroin? terrorism?

kids are kids... let them be such.
